Xchat is a popular IRC client that also works with the psyced IRC interface.
Unfortunaly it outputs server notices in the server tab, which means that if you write a command (e.g +friend..) the response will be in the server tab, not in the active tab where you typed it.

I wrote a small plugin to fix this problem. It has the 'Feature'(bug) that it displays some stuff twice. but it does its job.
